I just got this beautiful pair of blades in the mail from Burchtree and just thought I'd share a pic that I took of them.

click on the thumbnail for a larger (1024x683) pic:


The pic was taken with my version of Coop's No Frills $75 Light Tent and I was pretty pleased with how it turned out. My photo skills still need a lot of work, but this was promising.

The backstory behind these two blades is that I found out in May that one of my close friends was moving back to the mainland so I wanted to get her a good going away present. She loves knives and I had this idea in the back of my head so I contacted Burchtree about taking on the project. Basically I wanted to get two knives done that were made from the same stock and the dragon and tiger menukis represent our chinese zodiac signs. Michael agreed and he turned out these two beautiful knives that he hammered out from one piece of W2 roundstock. He sent me pics every step of the way so I could see the progression of the blades. So one of these will be sent up to her and the other will stay here with me and hopefully one of these days they will get to meet up again.

My thanks to Michael for agreeing to do this--the pics don't do these two justice as they are much more beautiful in person and Michael was a great guy to deal with.
 
Thank you very much for the kind words -- it was a pleasure to build these for you. From now on, you're going to take all my pictures. :thumbup: :D
 
Zenghost;

That's a very romantic thought, the dragon and tiger menuki idea is nice, I hope for you that the pair will be reunited someday. :)

They certainly do look attractive, compliments to Burchtree's skill ;) , and I love the background and how the pair lay side by side, it's the perfect setting for a quality tanto and photographs well.

Are you planning on having sheaths or small saya made for them ?

Burchtree made a couple of nice leather sheaths for them, I forgot to get a pic with them--I'll post one of the sheaths.

Thanks for the comments, guys.
